hi sadiq...aakum i am atonce reminded of the closing remarks /dedication of RAMBO-111... i am not sure which...but it is instructive 'dedicated to the brave people of Afganistan' these words haunted the colonialists then they haunt them now...what on earth is a poet going to do...

What price is yours for writing my miseries When you shall recite to the world my wounds With mock sadness holding your breath With high colors you shall display the laurels........................I'll call them predators who feed themselves on human miseries.............A Good Write.........

A Poet Laureate is a poet officially appointed by a government and is often expected to compose poems for State occasions and other government events..your piece is not a fallacy, it expresses real situation as shown and written in this piece of yours, , , naizz
